Patient's question:
My foreskin's inner side is located below the entire penis, it's white and covers a relatively large area. I got married just 3 days ago and haven't had sexual activity yet. I noticed it slightly itchy on the third day of marriage, but it's not severe. My foreskin is a bit long. Now I'm still a bit down with a cold. Is this related to the white patch on my foreskin? What's going on? What kind of assistance do you need: Hello: Do I need treatment? Or do I need to take any measures?Doctor's answer:
The skin under the yin meridian appears white, which is likely due to hyperpigmentation.Advice: Hello, in most cases, hyperpigmentation does not require treatment. The white appearance is caused by hormonal levels leading to phimosis, where the glans cannot be fully exposed. The condition should be assessed based on individual circumstances. If phimosis is present, it can easily lead to bacterial growth, increase the risk of balanitis (inflammation of the glans), and potentially cause urinary and gynecological issues for the partner. The phimosis itself can be stabilized, but treatment typically takes a long period and is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is crucial to cooperate fully with the doctor during treatment, use medications appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and alcohol consumption. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
